Actually in the render it shows 4 towers, once shorter one just nubbing up right behind Coast Capital building.
It's funny that SpongeG brough up only the worst of the worst stations in the Skytrain system as examples of how bad Vancouver's pedestrian friendliness is, and brings up only Portlands one good TOD as an example of why US TODs are better. So, 5 stations out of 47 make the Metro Vancouver TOD network a right off? You do know all of those stations except Scott Road are in established neighbourhoods that wouldn't be demolished without a fight... right? Where Metro Vancouver builds TODs are in derelict lots (hence the new proposal in Edmonds to take out the VV and Pawn Shop), and businesses like grocery and department stores, not established neighborhoods, not often at least.
